1. A streetlight situational awareness system (SSAS), comprising:
two or more streetlight modules configured to visually monitor corresponding zones along a road;
wherein the streetlight modules are each integrated into a streetlight configured to illuminate the road;
wherein the streetlight modules each include a camera configured to visually monitor the zones;
wherein the streetlight modules are configured to track objects when moving between the zones;
wherein the streetlight modules each include a controller configured to determine tracking data for the objects;
wherein the tracking data includes object type, object position, and object velocity;
wherein the streetlight modules each include a radio transceiver;
a vehicle travelling along the road;
wherein the radio transceiver is configured to transmit the tracking data to the vehicle;
wherein processing power of the vehicle for determining the tracking data is offloaded to the streetlight modules;
wherein the tracking data is used to generate a localized map of the zones; and
wherein the vehicle is configured to react to avoid hazards detected in the tracking data received from the streetlight modules.
